"There were lots of people who provided help to me during the trip, which made me feel very warm," she said. "Furthermore, I also received praise and encouragement from strangers, which I will always remember."

"My plan is to finish a 50,000-kilometer journey around China, so I chose Chongqing as a stop to have a short-term rest," she said. "I will continue when I recover."
